This is my first attempt to try photobucket, so I don't know if it'll work.

Friends say that I should have it cut in half to show what's going on inside. Others say that I should leave it the way it is. I took it to a rock shop and they tell me it's worth a lot of money. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. All I know is that it would take a very large saw to cut it. It's about 14" long, 9" high and about 8" wide.

Reminds me of those Amethyst Vent Pipes! Maybe you could work out a trade with a store- They cut it give you the better half and like 1 ton of tumbling rough- and they get the other half ;D

Try shining a short wave or long wave fluorescent mineral lamp and see what happens. Usually they fluoresce green with some red. Condor

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
